On the trail, Huan Chang slowly walked towards a village with a painting basket on his back.

"A Chang, I think you are in good shape these two months."

Recently, Yang Feng heard about his brother's reputation in the countryside, and felt very curious, so he wanted to follow Huan Chang to see it with his own eyes.

However, what puzzled him was that Huan Chang used to be very eager to practice martial arts, but now he does not mention this matter at all. Instead, he obeys the master's advice and immerses himself in calligraphy and painting every day.

Huan Chang smiled slightly and didn't answer.

Breaking the practice rules and entering the Tao in another way, even many warriors have never heard of this.

Although Yang Feng received guidance from Xu Wang and became a martial artist at the peak of the hall, he was still superficial and did not understand these things at all.

In fact, Shujian Pavilion has always been a single lineage.

Xu Wang just pointed at Yang Feng casually, but did not treat him as a disciple.

Even if Yang Feng wants to become an outer disciple, he has no qualifications at all.

Huan Chang may not have understood the true meaning of the three words Shujiange, and he did not know how powerful his sect was.

He also asked the master, but Xu Wang always frowned and did not want to talk too much about things related to the sect.

Xu Wang avoided talking about the affairs of the sect, and Huan Chang became more and more curious.

Don’t forget that Huan Chang has been well-read since childhood. Although his family is not very wealthy, he has a lot of books.

Huan Chang did not find useful information from Xu Wang, so he kept reading various classics, wanting to find records about Shujian Pavilion.

Although he had a lot of books at home, Huan Chang had searched through almost all the books, but he could not find any words about Shujian Pavilion.

For a time, Huan Chang even felt that his sect had no reputation at all.

But accidentally, Huan Chang found a yellowed book from a corner, and after seeing the contents, he was shocked.

This yellowed book not only mentions Shujian Pavilion, but also records a history that has been deliberately erased.

It has been two thousand years since the establishment of the Great Zhou Kingdom and then the enfeoffment of the princes of the world until today.

Eight hundred years after the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the once glorious empire had completely declined. Instead, the vassal states that were originally enfeoffed gradually became stronger.

The strength of the princes naturally brought about ambition and war.

The princes reformed their internal affairs and trained their troops. The countries fought endlessly, and the people lived in poverty.

War promoted the development of martial arts. When one of the amazing people after another, they hated the war, they hid in the mountains and forests to practice.

Not only these martial arts masters, but also many people hid in the mountains in order to avoid the war.

Those martial arts masters naturally have to look for disciples and pass on what they have learned in their lives, and gradually form one sect after another.

These sects do not obey the discipline of the princes, but will not interfere with the national affairs of the princes. They study martial arts every day and pursue the ultimate of Tao.

It is precisely because of the major sects who are obsessed with studying martial arts that the martial arts began to flourish, and the strong sects far surpassed the vassal states.

The rise of sects did not attract the attention of the princes at the beginning.

However, when martial arts developed to a certain level, the lethality of the top masters became increasingly powerful, which finally aroused the vigilance of the princes and also attracted the suppression of the sects within the territory.

There was a prince who once sent troops to wipe out a major faction in the territory, but unexpectedly caused trouble.

The first elder of this sect is an extremely powerful man at the peak of the Transcendence Realm.

This man entered the palace with a single sword, first killed the head of the king, and then killed all 38 members of the princes and royal family. Then, under the siege of three thousand elite soldiers, he killed half of them and retreated unscathed.

After this battle, the world was shocked.

Although the princes knew that after a long period of transformation, the peak martial arts powerhouses have reached a terrifying state.

But no one thought that a truly powerful man would be so terrifying.

The pressure brought by the sects made the princes frightened, and they stopped the war one after another, hoping to obtain the practice of the major sects.

However, the major sects are extremely vigilant towards the princes and are very strict in accepting disciples.

Not only that, since the most powerful martial arts masters showed their own methods, the sects that were not in dispute at the time also showed their sharp fangs.

They were independent in the territory and did not accept the discipline of the princes.

The disciples of the major sect often travel around the world. Whenever they encounter unfair things, they dare to take care of them no matter how identity the other party is.

Some monarchs ruled brutally, and some warriors even dared to assassinate the monarch openly, regardless of the laws of the monarchs.

Such a group of warriors were eventually given the title of "hero" and respected by the world.

Not only that, every kind of martial arts is a kind of Tao, and martial arts is closely related to Taoism and life. The emergence of martial arts has also given birth to a large number of Confucian scholars.

These Confucian scholars used martial arts to interpret Taoism and practice martial arts, creating their own schools of thought, promoting truth, goodness and beauty among the vassal states, and promoting their own Taoism.

Confucianism uses literature to establish virtue, and heroes use martial arts to contribute to the world.

That era was the most glorious time in the Jiuzhou Continent. Although the princes were in a dominant position, they were trembling and did not dare to act casually.

All they have is open mind and energetic knights.

However, time can change many things.

Even those Confucian scholars who entered the Taoist throne with martial arts and the chivalrous men who were praised by the world would have a deterioration day.

Power, fame, and desire eventually corrupted a large number of people.

The rise of sects and the deterioration of Confucian scholars and knights made the princes suffer.

Those powerful super sects can even decide the life and death of a vassal state by their own strength.

When Confucian scholars not only pursue Tao, when chivalrous men walk the world not only for righteousness, when major sects rule over one side and hinder the princes' orders.

The former Confucianism used literature to establish virtue, and the hero used martial arts to save the world, and finally evolved into Confucianism used literature to disrupt the law, and the hero used martial arts to violate the ban.

Even powerful sects manipulate some small vassal states to launch wars to expand their power, so as to promote their sects' understanding of Tao and expand their sects' influence.

Driven by desire, the Jiuzhou Continent, which had been calm for four hundred years, finally began to war again.

After three hundred years of war, the vassal states, which were once large and small, have become fewer and fewer, and the population within the Jiuzhou continent has dropped significantly.

As for those sects of all sizes, there are more and more.

The abnormal development of the sects finally angered the princes in the world.

Heroes come from troubled times.

Three hundred years ago, five great masters emerged, namely Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Xiang of Song, Duke Wen of Jin, Duke Mu of Qin, and King Zhuang of Chu.

These five great princes were the most powerful princes at that time.

After secretly accumulating power and joining forces with some aspiring people, the princes finally launched the most fierce counterattack against the major sects.

At that time, although many sects stirred up the world's storm, some sects were still focused on the Tao and hid in the world without caring about worldly affairs.

Although this hidden sect is small, the masters in the sect are very terrifying.

The five major princes secretly contacted five hidden sects, and explained their emotions and moved them with reason, and finally received the support of the five hidden sects.

In this way, several overlords who had been planning for a long time united the top powerhouses of the five major hidden sects to set off a bloody storm on the Jiuzhou Continent.

Many sects that deviated from their purpose were completely exterminated in that battle, and even some super sects almost perished.

"Why."

Thinking of the records in that book, Huan Chang sighed deeply, but he didn't expect that there was such a secret in the Jiuzhou Continent.

However, when the book records here, it also came to an abrupt end.

As for the war between the five major princes and sects, who won and lost, it was not written down.

"The five vassal states in the past, Qin has become a small state. Although Song still exists, its master has been replaced."

"As for the powerful Jin State, it completely destroyed the country and split into three countries: Zhao, Wei and Han."

"From this perspective, the battle should have been the failure of the princes."

Although Huan Chang had thought about it this way, he was a little uncertain when he remembered the major sects today.

After all, although the princes of the current major sects do not dare to provoke them easily, they are not as unscrupulous as they were three hundred years ago.

It seems that these sects have also received some constraints.

More importantly, the hidden sects that followed the five major princes did not perish. If they thought so, the major sects did not seem to have won.

Huan Chang could imagine that if the battle had really been won by the major sects and the five hidden sects that helped the princes would have been razed to the ground.

But at least, although Shujian Pavilion is hidden in the world, it has not been destroyed in the end.

Yes, the five hidden sects that helped the princes at that time included Shujian Pavilion, which was the sect where Huan Chang was.

According to the records in the book, the leader of Shujian Pavilion followed Duke Xiang of Song at that time and was besieged by 800 masters of the sects.

But in that battle, the Sect Master of Shujian Pavilion held a pen in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and kept guarding Song Xianggong, never leaving.

After the battle, most of the 800 masters were injured and killed, and the remaining people were all frightened and fled in a panic.

It should be noted that these 800 people are not ordinary soldiers, but real masters, and the worst one is a strong man in the house.

Even the most powerful people in the Transcendent Realm are not uncommon. However, the leader of Shujian Pavilion still kills all directions, and his style shines on Jiuzhou.

From this we can see how terrifying the original leader of Shujian Pavilion was.

"Shujian Pavilion is almost a single lineage. Every generation of disciples must have the best strength in the world to be qualified to inherit the mantle of Shujian Pavilion."

There was a light flashing in Huan Chang's eyes, including yearning and longing.

He knew that the master did not explain the past of Shujiange to him because he did not want to put pressure on him. But since Huan Chang, as the descendant of Shujiange in contemporary Shujiange, naturally had to bear the important task of revitalizing the sect.

After all, since the three hundred years of war, Shujian Pavilion has been on the Jiuzhou Continent, and there have been no more rumors.

The glorious past seemed to have been deliberately erased.
